Blu-ray extras announced for the 9/22 release of THE SENTINEL (1977) from Scream Factory

Very excited for THE SENTINEL on Blu-ray! I know that this film was a passion project for Cliff McMillan from Scream Factory, so hoping this new HD transfer goes above and beyond, ot to mention all the sweet bonus content... plus Beverly D'Angelo masturbating in HD!

THE SENTINEL (1977)

We are extremely excited today to reveal details about our upcoming blu-ray release of THE SENTINEL--the 1977 shockfest from Director Michael Winner that was often considered by some as too outrageous for its time but has since gone on to achieve a rather large cult following.

Lots of great stuff on the disc came together through a lot of hard work with many involved behind-the-scenes. We truly hope that you enjoy the following supplements as much as we do:

• NEW 2015 High Definition transfer of the film from interpositive! (We can now confess that this is why we delayed the release a month. Thank you for understanding when we moved it.) • NEW Audio Commentary by actress Cristina Raines (FYI – She admits that this is the first time she has ever watched the film!) • NEW Audio Commentary with writer/producer Jeffrey Konvitz• NEW interview with assistant director Ralph S. Singleton• Audio Commentary with director Michael Winner• Theatrical Trailer & TV Spots• Still Galleries – movie stills, press photos, posters and lobby cards

For those of you who haven’t seen the film, do yourself a favor and Check. It. Out! The action surrounds a fashion model, a blind priest, the gates of hell, bloody special effects (courtesy of the legendary Dick Smith) and sports a crazy list of stars – arguably the biggest in horror film history – that includes Chris Sarandon, Cristina Raines, Christopher Walken, Ava Gardner, Arthur Kennedy, Jeff Goldblum, Jerry Orbach, Beverly D’ Angelo, Burgess Meredith, Eli Wallach, Martin Balsam, Deborah Raffin, Tom Berenger, Jose Ferrer, John Carradine and Nana Visitor.
